		+	Some tricky players put cages inside buildings (warehouses, raeli ovens etc). It's possible to take cicada from there too. Just come close to wall of building, press Enter+arrow to move avatar inside. When you're in, move camera maximally closer to avatar and you will see a cage.

 Hidden across the Egyptian landscape are dozens of cicada cages, detectable mainly through the continuous chirping sounds they emit. A player who comes across a cicada cage is allowed to take a cicada from it (provided the player has signed up for the Cicada test). When a player has collected enough cicadas, he may build and place a cicada cage of his own. Cages disappear after 7 players have discovered them.
-Cicada points are earned both by finding other players' cages (a single bonus for each cage found) and by building your own (points earned continuously for as long as your cages survive). Every 3 Egypt days, the 21 players with the highest scores receive 1 permanent Speed point. They then all lose cicada points equal to the 21st player's score.
+Cicada points are earned both by finding other players' cages (a single bonus for each cage found) and by building your own (points earned continuously for as long as your cages survive). Every 3 Egypt days, the 21 players with the highest scores receive Speed Advances. They then all lose cicada points equal to the 21st player's score.
 To pass the test, a player must achieve a permanent Speed of 7. Players may continue to gain Speed points through this test even after passing.

 It is possible to receive more than one point of speed in a day. If the top scorer has 15k and the advances cost 5k then the top scorer will gain three advances.
